Attorney Anter is a criminal defense lawyer. In the case of Rio, Anter failed to adequately prepare for the case, barely spoke to his client until the trial got under way and failed to properly cross-examine prosecution witnesses.

B) is guilty of negligence for failure to represent Rio competently if his action/inaction fell below the standard of care of the reasonable lawyer under the circumstances. C) is not guilty of negligence because the judge set aside the jury's verdict. D) is guilty of negligence unless he refunds the money he took from the client's family.
